XVIII. ACCEPTABLE USE OF COMPUTERS AND NETWORKS
It is the desire of the school district to provide computer access to information of educational relevance and
value to students and of instructional and administrative support to teachers, staff, and administrators. Use of
the Internet and of other networks is particularly useful for educational research, access to instructional
materials, and for scientific and educational information exchange. Such use is encouraged to enhance the
school district’s instructional objectives and for enrichment of the school district’s curriculum. The
information in which students, teachers, staff, and administrators are authorized to have access is only that
information which is appropriate for use in an educational setting and at the age and grade appropriate level.
Use of school district computers is authorized only to further school district purposes. The school district
does not authorize use of its computer resources for private purposes, including activities which are for profit
or for recreation, or for access to information which promotes illegal or immoral activity or which is indecent
or obscene. Rather, use of school district computers to gain access to such information is prohibited.
Students using school district computers to gain such access will be disciplined under the Student Code of
Conduct. Employees doing so commit job related misconduct and are subject to being discharged from
employment for good cause, including but not limited to violating the standards of the profession. Persons
who use school district computers for unauthorized purposes will have their computer privileges revoked or
suspended. Students, teachers, staff, and administrators having access to the Internet or to other networks
may use school district computers for such access only in compliance with the following:
A. Users will maintain the confidentiality of their personally identifiable information, including their
name, home address, and home telephone number and will not release such information to
unauthorized individuals;
B. Users will maintain the confidentiality of their logon identifiers and passwords and will use only
their assigned logon identifiers and passwords;
C. Users will enter their assigned passwords each time access by password is required and will change
passwords immediately when prompted to do so;
D. Users will not gain access to, use, rename, erase, alter, or manipulate another person’s computer
files, programs, or disks and will not introduce or propagate computer codes or passwords which
hinder any other persons’ files, programs, software, or systems;
E. Users will use school district computers only for educationally, instructionally, or administratively
appropriate activities. Users will not use school district computers for private purposes or to gain
access to indecent or obscene information or information which promotes illegal, unethical, or
immoral activities; and,
F. Users will not use the school district computers to transmit vulgar or sexually explicit language or to
annoy, harass, stalk, or threaten other users.
